A meal for the table

R&G’s official information places the restaurant at 631 Kearny Street and lists dishes such as R&G Special Beef, lobster sticky rice and salt-and-pepper string beans. These are starting points for looking at the current menu, not a promise that every item will be available. For a group, ask which combinations and portion sizes make sense together.

Sort the practical details early

The restaurant’s FAQ says that accessible seating is available on the entrance level and asks guests to call ahead to arrange it. Its contact page directs larger groups and private-event enquiries to the restaurant. Those details are worth resolving before the day if seating needs or party size will shape the experience.

Order with a shared plan

Talk through seafood preferences and the budget before choosing larger dishes. Ask for the current price of any seasonal or market-priced item and check what is included. A shared meal can be generous without becoming an over-order: start with complementary dishes, then see what the table still wants. Confirm live opening times and reservations on the official site.

Make the final call

Check current menus, prices and opening times with the restaurant. Discuss specific ingredient or accessibility needs directly. Spending styles describe the kind of meal, not a fixed per-person price.
